Do you feel lucky, MapleStory players? You should, because Nexon is celebrating the game’s lucky seventh anniversary, and the studio is passing the good fortune on to the players with a series of in-game events and double experience weekends.
For the duration of the month, players will be treated not only to double experience and drops every weekend, but they’ll also be able to take part in events such as the Maple Rising Star Contest, which requires players to complete tasks to show support for their favorite NPC contestant. And of course, no anniversary would be complete without a visit from the deliciously vicious Cake Boss monster, which combines a challenging battle and a tasty treat into one mutant monstrosity. To put the icing on the proverbial cake, Nexon has released a short anniversary trailer that recaps the major MapleStory events of the past year, so put on your party hats and join the festivities after the cut.

May 11th
Blizzard Entertainment and Valve have announced that the two gaming giants have reached an agreement regarding the use of the DOTA name. In the settlement, Blizzard will be able to retain the non-commercial use of the DOTA name with regard to consumer-created maps for Warcraft III and Starcraft II.
"Both Blizzard and Valve recognize that, at the end of the day, players just want to be able to play the games they're looking forward to, so we're happy to come to an agreement that helps both of us stay focused on that," said Rob Pardo, executive vice president of game design at Blizzard Entertainment. "As part of this agreement, we're going to be changing the name of Blizzard DOTA to Blizzard All-Stars, which ultimately better reflects the design of our game. We look forward to going into more detail on that at a later date."
"We're pleased that we could come to an agreement with Blizzard without drawing things out in a way that would benefit no one," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "We both want to focus on the things our fans care about, creating and shipping great games for our communities."

Fallen Earth: Improving the Player Experience
May 11th
The Fallen Earth blog has been updated with a new post outlining some of the recent changes to the overall player experience that includes things such as tooltips, skill detail pages and more. All of this is designed, according to the post, to give players more information and to make it more "accessible" to players.
The post then goes into a bit of detail about what players can expect from the next update.
Gear Slot Reduction
We have reduced the amount of gear slots necessary to fully equip your character. The amount of resistances are the same, but gloves, lower and upper arm armor and thigh pieces will now function like boots – equipping one will equip the set. While this does limit some of the customizability, we will be addressing that through more custom clothing options rather than through forcing players to hunt out available matching sets.

Monsterinvasion Mai 2012
May 11th
Es ist Zeit für eine neue Monsterinvasion! Nach der Muwulf- und Gelee-Invasion, die für Nehra im Februar und für Aermyne im März stattgefunden hatte, gibt es jetzt eine neue Monsterinvasion, und zwar am selben Wochenende für Nehra und Aermyne: Los geht es am 19.05.2012! Wie viele von euch bereits wissen, gab es eine Abstimmung, bei der ihr unter drei Monstergruppen auswählen konntet. Zur Wahl standen Krachler, Dubbels und Astaknyden. Die Astaknyden haben kaum jemanden interessiert, und Dubbels (aus dem gleichnamigen Gebiet) lagen deutlich vorne.
Daher werden sich bald die Dubbels auf die Reise nach Amakna machen!
Die Invasion wird am Samstag, dem 19.05.2012, am Abend beginnen und bis Dienstag Morgen andauern.
Die Abenteurer, die nicht gegen die Dubbels aus dem Dubbel-Gebiet kämpfen möchten, müssen sich dann an ihnen vorbeischleichen oder das Gebiet von Amakna-Dorf umgehen. Für diejenigen, die sich gerne im Bereich von Dorfzaap und den Marktplätzen aufhalten, wird die Invasion dieses Mal etwas weiter südlich stattfinden.

MMORPG.com: There are some great aspects to the empires in PlanetSide 2. Can you tell us what sets the Terran Republic apart from the other empires?
Xander Clauss: The Terran Republic is the militaristic government faction of Auraxis. They seek to bring peace to the planet under their rule, though the N.C. and V.S. think of them as oppressive and heavy-handed.
